    Oh wow. That looks like it feels delicious. (So much sensory confusion there!) What an awesome shop. The BFL/Silk in Cranberry Bog drew my eye right off, though. Wow!

    The violet silk blend lace weight is totally out of my price range, but pretty fantastic. But I pretty much love everything.

    Oh my goodness! I adore the "Hand Knit Whimsical Long-Tail Toddler Hat" and if I had a toddler I would buy it immediately! As it is, I think I need to work on both producing a toddler and more handspun to knit up hats for the toddler. What, you say I need a baby first? Oh, DH... ;o)
